Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.

We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern.

If you violate these guidelines your post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place. For example:

I have sat outside of the courier side at John C Munro and hear a lot of conventional action probably from UPS/Purolator/etc but never recall hearing an DMR activity. I have been monitoring it all day and there been barely any new real action just another TG 12014120 with a brief key up, no RID was recorded.. It seems way too little action for UPS so I have a feeling this could very well be Federal Marine. I might have to drive over there at some point and do some scanning with my 436.

They are licensed for 408.0125 at JCM.. but don't know if they are active on that frequency. I do hear other stuff on that frequency, I believe is Mission Services down the road from me. I am not down in that area of the airport that often and when and if I am it's usually late at night.

Not sure if my dongle was misbehaving before but I am getting a new set of TG's.. 201 & 202.. with RID's in the 20k range.. I was hearing these earlier on 436HP and verified them as correct with my dongle. I have the system being monitored so I will see if I can pin what this is down.

So it looks like there are maybe two Cap+ systems.. and originally I was sort of right.. the one I can get with my regular antenna.. which i believe more so but still haven't confirmed it is the Federal Marine Terminals.. they us CC 3 with TG's 201 & 202.. then I can also receive with a mag mount antenna in my window a Cap+ system using CC 6.. with TG's 12014110 & TG 12014120. Not sure if they are both Cap+ but I going to further investigate..

There is a single DMR somewhere around Hamilton or maybe on of the neighbouring cities that I have been hearing here on my mag mount.. 451.6625 CC 5.. I have heard TG 10 but so far they haven't talked enough or long enough to figure out what this one is.

I am about 99.9% sure that the Cap+ system with CC of 3 is the Federal Marine Terminals up near Pier 12 in Hamilton. I was driving around the back roads around the plant without my antenna connected. I was picking up the CAP+ along Wentworth St N and Oliver St which is a stones throw away from where they are located on Flank Road which unfortunately you can't get to via a public road.

So I believe I figured out who this is..it's St Joseph's Hospital West 5th Campus.. I have been monitoring it on my SDR the past couple nights and heard tonight what sounded like security mentioning something about ICC whcih is some patient care program at St Joseph's. I checked the TAFL and found the West 5th Campus is licensed as Paladin Security at the hospital's address up on the mountain. Also from this article (https://paladinsecurity.com/blog/behind-scenes/paladin-security-st-joseph’s-healthcare-hamilton) from 2014 it does look like they do the security for that campus..

Back a few nights ago I sat outside the cargo area at JCM for about an hour or so.. and logged these frequencies with lots of cargo unloading/loading type traffic.. most of these frequencies where very busy with traffic.
